Barca got the worst possible draw, Madrid got the easiest. Carry on.

Pretty much this. It seems that we can't ever get an easy draw anymore in the CL.

I expect Chiellini, Bonucci and Evra to screw up as well. Especially the first two. Their shirt pulling and reckless challenges will be punished by RM's offensive players. Juve are screwed unless they get a favorable result in the first leg at home.

No Pogba either.

It's definitely theirs to lose.

I'm amazed you guys are saying we got the worst possible draw.
In my opinion it is easier to beat a team over 2 legs than it is to beat them in a one off game at a neutral stadium.
Also you need to bare in mind the final will be played in the Berlin Olympic stadium, which is where the German league cup final is played every year...So in many ways that would be more like a home match for Bayern. If any team is going to beat Bayern, it will probably have to be in the Semi's where it is an equal playing field.

For the record, Barca are favourites to win the competition outright now, and bayern have dropped to third favourites after drawing barca.

Modric out is a huge blow. Even without Pogba they have a formidable midfield, pretty much on par with Real's. I don't think Real will create many chances. Counters won't work against Juve, as Juve will not play gung-ho football. Real's hope will be set pieces, but Juve knows how to defend in those situations as well.

On the other hand, I can see Tevez and Morata hurting Real's defense. I predict a Casillas blunder actually to nobody's surprise.

They don't seem that great. They scored what 0 goals away from home and allowed 2 so far? That's an incredibly bad away record especially considering the games were against Shaktar and Porto.

Half their players are injured, their defense is highly questionable, should be a simple home league and after that I don't see us allowing a big comeback away.

This keeps my Juve-Barça dream final alive so I'm pleased with that. Beating madrid wouldn't be so bad either.

what is their injuries situation for the next two week, who should be still out during both legs?
I am not even bothered with the other semi final, I might see the second leg if Juventus proved something in the first one, other wise it's just a boring game to watch, I guess.

Thiago scored in Porto. It's true, our away record in this year's knockout stage isn't great, but we scored 7 in Rome in the group stage, for example. And Rome had an amazing home record up to that point. But yeah, Camp Nou will be difficult.

Realistically Barca vs Bayern is a 50/50 tie, Real vs Juve is like 70/30. The prospect of Real getting easily in the final is what pisses me off, wish we faced them instead of Bayern.
